Itinerary
Fethiye to Cleopatra’s Baths
Check-in is at 9 am, and we aim to board our gulet around 10 am for welcome speeches and an introduction to the Captain and crew. After departing Fethiye harbour around 10.30-11 am, we cruise straight to Cleopatra’s Baths, an ancient hammam dating back to Roman times. Lunch will be served on board near the baths, and we will try to get the gulet or our tender boat near the ruins for a swim and photos.
We then move on to another nearby bay (Merdivenli Koyu) that features caves and a beach to explore before going for an optional short hike to a Turkish shepherd’s village.
We then finish the evening at a bay near Cleopatra’s Baths and overnight there.

There are plenty of waterside cafes and bars to sample as well, and time to hunt for a good place for dinner in the evening. After dinner, we head back to the boat for a few drinks before experiencing the legendary nightlife of Marmaris!

FAQs
What time does my sail start/finish?
4-day Fethiye to Marmaris
START (check-in): 9 am
FINISH (check-out): 8.30 am
Where do I find my boat?
Instructions on how to find your boat are in your pre-departure guide. We email this to you 3-4 weeks prior to departure.
Where should I stay before or after my Go Sail Turkey cruise?
Fethiye
Many of our guests stay the night in Fethiye before the cruise (highly recommended, as Fethiye has a great choice of bars and restaurants). Staying around Paspatur (Fethiye’s Old Town) or along the main promenade is perfect for pre- or post-cruise accommodation. It puts you right near the waterfront and local transport links, making it simple to get to Fethiye Harbour for your cruise.
Marmaris
Anywhere around the Old Town or along Marmaris Harbour is ideal for pre- or post-cruise accommodation. Staying near the waterfront keeps you within easy reach of your check-in/check out.
How do I get from the airport to my boat?
Fethiye
If you are arriving at Dalaman Airport (DLM), the most direct way to get from the airport to the port is by taxi or pre-booked private transfer. The journey takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour, depending on traffic.
Alternatively, you can take an airport shuttle bus (Muttaş or Havaş) directly from the airport to Fethiye’s main bus terminal (Fethiye Otogar).
The bus ride takes approximately 1 hour. From Fethiye Otogar, the port is a quick taxi ride or a 15-minute walk away, bringing the total travel time to around 1 hour and 15 minutes.
How do I get to Fethiye?
Air. Rail. Bus. Ferry.
Your options are limitless (not really, but you know what we mean). Check your options here.
What happens if I miss, or am going to be late for the boat's departure?
It all depends on just how late you are! If you miss check-in, it shouldn’t be too hard to catch up. But if you’re a day late, you’ll need to discuss options with our Operations team.
4-day Fethiye to Marmaris departures
If your travel is delayed and you miss your check-in and our harbour departure time, you will need to arrange a water taxi or land transfer (at your own expense) to join the boat at our overnight bay anchorage or next morning stop.
Top tip: aim to arrive in Turkey at least one day before your sail to avoid missing check-in.
